[ITK] [ITK-users] cannot save transform to file: Can't Create IO object

Thu May 26 12:36:44 EDT 2016

You can have a look at the workaround that has been implemented in 3D Slicer:
https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/commit/12743c6fcebb67ff9b22319cbe52a322a3738134

Some more background information:
http://slicer-devel.65872.n3.nabble.com/Empty-deformable-transforms-with-Mac-build-td4036248.html

I think it's unacceptable in the long term that dynamic_cast is broken for ITK transform objects but at least we have a workaround for now. It would be nice if somebody could implement a proper solution.

Hello,

That branch makes some improvements, but there really does need a redesign of a few key initializations and shared library policies to work correctly.
